Document Summary
China labour moving to us and canadian timber2/4/2013 7:12:00 pm. China labour costs push jobs back to us. The trend could cut the us"s merchandise trade deficit with the rest of the world, excluding oil, from bn in 2010 to about bn by the end of the decade. Chesapeake bay candle has created 50 jobs, with another 50 likely next year, since it invested in us production: half of the company"s production is now us-based, last year all of its products were made in china. The research will resonate in the white house where obama has made a proposed strengthening of manufacturing a key part of his plans for a sustained economic recovery. What"s going to stop the current trickle of extra employment from becoming a real trend is the behaviour by the chinese government in persistently finding ways to help its domestic manufacturers. Canada is eager to increase timber exports to china.
